A dirty secret is that piracy is being abused by criminal organizations[1]. When people unknowingly access such sites to see contents for free, it generate ad revenue for those organizations, which can fund other crimes. [1]: https:/&

Corporations acting as if naive is a bit of problem in reality. For one thing, CF is probably the largest entity serving pirated content internationally while hiding the identities of actual perpetrators for privacy . Same here: CF is basi

I’m quite sure there is a certain amount of correlation unfortunately, mainly because there are micro patterns (e.g. IO, allocator) that can’t be modularized into functions. Lots of manual copy-pasta.

Just a side note: prompts often get a disproportionate amount of attention. That is, when you copy-paste an error message into the prompt, the LLM will focus on pleasing you immediately by fixing the error message , rather than understandi

Yeah, you got a very good point there. Yes, it may seem very weird, but that’s because China was not playing the game. The game that I suggested earlier assumes that (1) those in power seek to maximize their gains, (2) and such behavior is

I think the caste system is what’s hampering social and economic progress in India (or at least partially). It’s a sort of game theory stuff here. A structured class hierarchy makes it inherently more difficult for individuals to challenge

I’ve been trying this on some social and political science topics, and, tbh, Opus is never going to replace ChatGPT in terms of sharpness of claims. Claims generated by Opus alone are almost always dull and inadequately nuanced. It’s also h

Perhaps the real job of programmers is (or has been) adapting to new requirements. The art lies in the process, not in the result.

Last time i checked their issue tracker (in 2025), the main source of problem was the engine, not their Zig code. A lot of core dump was happening inside and around JSC.

Partially, the team would have never expected the project to be acquire before Bun touches v1.0.

I guess “void” here is a bit more like a place you can’t even see (because of the flag).

This is a really nice write up. The reason itself — why the delay — is totally within my own speculation, but the sheer quality of the writing dragged me through the whole article. That is something. I think this shows how Noctua value thei

Exactly. Much of the intellectual work is, in fact, intellectual labor . It’s mostly about combining various information in one place — the exact task that LLM far outperforms human. People traditionally misclassified this class of work

Lack of information, lack of knowledge. The “AI” “technology” is an easy excuse to create artificial information gap in the era of the interconnected.

Funny because the general consensus is that everyone is burning money so fast that they would not be able to get it back from their AI business in the near future. OpenAI is simply the one with the most aggressive expenditure. Google has it

You should know that the constant criticism is basically what stabilized systemd - the core - and stopped systemd - the project - from stretching its arms over every component in the ecosystem, which obviously could create a single-point-of

Not quite. Brevity is more like a modern virtue, not an absolute sign of human-ness. Often longer sentences are necessary to express comprehensive logic more tightly. TBH, these days I feel like being penalized by the rise of LLM because my

A bit of an off-topic, but the social networking protocol should never be designed for the sake of the protocol itself, or it’ll not enjoy the networking effect. A protocol must offer direct benefits to users, so that they keep participatin

I’ve always thought the whole point of staying in COBOL is not to make unnecessary changes, and that many required changes are critical and need experts who know how to handle them exactly. There’s hardly any room remained for LLM.

Hmph, AFAIK systemd has been struggling with TPM stuff for a while (much longer than I anticipated). It’s kinda understandable that the founder of systemd is joining this attestation business, because attestation ultimately requires far mor

Attestation is a critical feature for many H/W companies (e.g. IoT, robotics), and they struggle with finding security engineers who expertise in this area (disclaimer: I used to work as a operating system engineer + security engineer)

Azure offers Postgres “DBaaS”, so I’m pretty sure they are no where near that stage. It’s more likely that we should watch out for the Microsoft E-E-E strategy.
